Math 112 is a concurrent corequisite course containing arithmetic and algebraic concepts designed to support students in Statistics. Topics include a review of skills developed in algebra: order of operations, scientific notation, conversion between fractions, decimals, and percents, solving linear equations, and using the symbols, notation, and vocabulary of algebra. Topics are taught strategically throughout the semester to provide a "just in time" instruction of skills needed to master concepts in MAT-12 as they arise in that course. A diverse approach to problem solving processes and enhancement of study strategies will prepare the student for later university courses. 36 hours lecture. (Pass/No Pass)
Upon successful completion of the course, students should be able to demonstrate the following skills:
From an application problem, extract relevant information, identify variables, and write verbal statements into mathematical statements; solve and write a conclusion that involves the solution.
